Abstract: In this study, we have fabricated and evaluated a flow control valve for oil-hydraulic soft actuators. To install oil-hydraulic actuators on a robot to realize actuation with high-power, ...

The Fraunhofer ENAS develops various fluidic actuators for the active flow control. Therefore performance requirements of the partners are considered on the one hand and new concepts are developed on ...

Soft actuators have advantages over traditional rigid robots in various applications due to their robustness, low mechanical stiffness, and low weight. Thus far, conventional rigid valves are the most ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Rotork electric CVA control-valve actuators are available in linear and quarter-turn actions, and are suitable for a wide range of applications. They don't require air supplies, and are easily ...

The Easi-Drive portable valve actuator can open or close electric actuated valves during a power failure to protect against overflows. The operator can use the Easi-Drive portable valve actuator to ...

Electric and fluid power actuators from Rotork have been installed on a new Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel in Brazil. Customer Metroval specified Rotork intelligent IQ3 multi ...
